Cindy Sheehan

Not One More Mother's Child

Cindy Sheehan lost her son, Army Specialist Casey Austin Sheehan, in an ambush in Sadr City, Baghdad, on April 4, 2004. As information became available that the war in Iraq was based on lies and "cooked intelligence," she began speaking out and testifying in the halls of Congress. In August 2005, she went to Crawford, Texas, to confront President Bush, and the floodgates of a renewed American peace movement were opened. Cindy Sheehan is a moving writer and vibrant storyteller. In Not One More Mother's Child, she chronicles her thoughts and actions, reflections on war and peace, truth and accountability, sharing for the first time in book form the story of her journey from grieving mom to effective activist. With a Foreword by Congressman John Conyers, Jr.

"What Cindy Sheehan has done for our country is just miraculous and a mighty blessing. A thaw is felt throughout the land. People have started to speak, and their voices are being heard."
— Martin Sheen, actor, West Wing

"We saw many sparks from the protests leading up to the Iraqi war and more efforts after the war began, but when Cindy came to Texas, she was the spark that lit the flame."
— Russell Means, Oglala/Lakota, actor and activist, American Indian Movement

"Cindy Sheehan has put a human face on the antiwar movement. Her presence in Crawford has given Americans dignity again."
— Jodie Evans, cofounder CODEPINK: Women for Peace
